Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Seashine at Free against Samurai Scroll's $0.99. Seashine also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 50 months). Samurai Scroll's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
